Objective:

Research suggests that, on average, it takes about 30 days to form a habit. Our goal is to workout for 10 minutes each day for 30 days.  This is an achievable goal that anyone can accomplish! Even if you only go to the gym and just stand in front of the dumbbells for 10 minutes, the goal is to take at least one daily action step!

It’s all too often in life that we become complacent and think that we have more time, when the truth is, the time is now!

Daily Workout Plan:

• Duration: Minimum of 10 minutes or more per day.
• Activity: Choose from the following options based on your preference and how your body feels on a given day.
  • Mobility Movement: Gentle exercises designed to increase your range of motion and lubricate your joints. This could include dynamic stretches or mobility-focused yoga poses.
  • Cardio:
    • Low-Intensity: Activities such as a leisurely walk or a light cycle.
    • High-Intensity: Short bursts of vigorous exercise such as sprinting, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), or a spin class to get your heart pumping and calories burning.
  • Treadmill Walk: Set a comfortable pace and incline on the treadmill and walk for the duration.
  • Outdoor Activity: Take your workout outside for some fresh air – a brisk walk, jog, or even a low-intensity hike.
  • Yoga: A yoga session to help improve flexibility, balance, and provide a moment of mindfulness.

Progression & Adaptability:

• Start with what feels manageable and gently increase either the duration or intensity as the days pass, listening to your body and adjusting accordingly.
• Vary your movements daily to keep things interesting and work different muscle groups.

Celebration Milestone:

• 30-Day Milestone: Celebrate your commitment to building a regular workout routine. Reflect on your progress, any changes in your overall well-being, and set your goals for the next month.

Remember: The key to this program is consistency. It’s less about “what” you do and more about getting your body moving and doing something active every day.

Objective:

The basic standard for Diversify 365 is to workout for at least 20 minutes each day; whether it be weight-lifting, kettlebells, cardio, yoga, pilates, dancing, walking, cycling, etc. The remainder of our 12 month program is merely a guideline to follow if you’re looking to challenge yourself in additional ways, both mentally and physically.

Increase the duration of your daily workouts to 20 minutes. Having established a workout routine in month 1, you’ll now build upon that foundation and start to carve out more time for yourself and your health.

Daily Workout Plan:

• Duration: Minimum of 20 minutes or more per day.
• Activities: Continue with the same range of activities as in month 1, but aim to extend the time spent on each workout:
  • Increase the time of your mobility movements, perhaps incorporating more stretches or varying your routine.
  • Extend your cardio sessions, whether it’s adding an extra 10 minutes to your walk or run, or doing an additional round of HIIT.
  • For your treadmill walks, consider a longer duration or introducing intervals with varying speeds and inclines for a challenge.
  • Take longer outdoor trips or increase the intensity or duration of your yoga sessions to deepen your practice.

Nutritional Focus:

• Start paying closer attention to your macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates, and fats).
• Ensure your diet supports your activity level and aligns with your health and fitness goals.
• Keep track of your food intake using “Trainerize” which is a macro-tracking app to tailor your nutrition plan — remember, dietary needs are highly individual so if there are any concerns, please connect so we can assist you and make changes wherever necessary.

Adaptation & Personalization:

• Feel free to tweak the activities to continue fitting your lifestyle and enjoyment.
• Notice how your body responds to increased activity. Make changes if something isn’t feeling right to ensure you maintain joy and safety in your workout routine.
• If a particular movement or exercise isn’t serving you well anymore, don’t hesitate to substitute it with another that does.

Celebration Milestone:

• Upon reaching the end of Month 2, take time to celebrate your successes and the increased effort you’ve put into your workouts.
• Reflect on how the increased workout time has affected your body and well-being.
• Evaluate any changes or improvements in your fitness since you’ve started and set new goals for the upcoming months. Share them in the community groups.

Remember: The goal is to extend the time dedicated to your health and fitness incrementally. Listen to your body and adjust as necessary. Your journey is unique, and your program should reflect what makes you feel your best.

Objective:

LOOK UP! Do you see the stars?!  Neither do I so you’re not done growing yet!!
Ramp up the intensity of your workouts. With a solid habit of daily exercise and an increased workout time already in place, your focus for Month 3 is on pushing your physical limits and challenging your strength and endurance.

Daily Workout Plan:

• Duration: Minimum of 30 minutes per day.
• Activity Intensification: Incorporate the following elements to intensify your existing workout routine:
  • Add Weight to Your Workout:
    • Utilize equipment such as dumbbells, barbells, or weighted plates to add resistance to your exercises.
    • Start with a manageable weight that allows you to maintain proper form, gradually increasing as you become stronger.
  • High-Intensity Cardio or Hiit:
    • Short bursts of vigorous exercise such as sprinting, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), or a spin class to get your heart pumping and calories burning.
  • Incorporate Full-Body Plyometric Exercises:
    • Examples include squat to kick, squat jumps, burpees, or any variations of planks with dynamic movements.
    • These high-energy moves engage multiple muscle groups and increase heart rate, providing a cardiovascular challenge along with strength building.

Example Structure (Resistance based workout with weights):

• Begin with a warm-up that includes dynamic stretching to prepare your body for increased activity.
• Follow with a circuit combining strength training with weights and plyometric exercises, carefully timing each exercise to keep your heart rate elevated.
• Conclude with a cool-down phase that gradually brings down your heart rate and stretches your muscles to aid in recovery.

Adjustment and Progress Monitoring:

• Continue to tailor your workout plan according to your body’s response. The added weight and plyometric exercises should be challenging but not overwhelming.
• Monitor your progress, ensuring you can handle the increased intensity without compromising form or risking injury. Form is key.

Celebration Milestone:

• Celebrate your progress at the end of month 3 by recognizing the commitment you’ve made to improving your fitness and pushing your boundaries.
• Note improvements in your strength, endurance, and any specific achievements in your exercises (e.g., lifting heavier weights, increased reps, improved exercise form). Share them in the community groups. 

Remember: Increased intensity is the goal, but always prioritize safety and proper form to prevent injuries. A gradual increase in challenge will yield the best long-term results, ensuring you continue to build upon the strong foundation you’ve set in the first two months.

This month’s challenge is dedicated to the transformative power of meditation. As you embark on daily meditation, you’ll not only be nurturing your mental well-being but also unlocking a range of benefits. It sharpens your focus, enhances your concentration, and can significantly boost your productivity and creativity.

You’ll learn to observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment, gaining insights into your inner self. This journey towards mindfulness will not just be a monthly challenge, but a lifelong tool, empowering you with resilience, peace, and a deeper understanding of both your mind and emotions. Embrace this opportunity to discover a more centered and harmonious version of yourself. You can follow a guided meditation on Youtube or apply a practice of your own. Here are some examples

Objective:

“Can I get an enCORE, do you want more?” Jay Z said it in his song called “Encore” but I don’t think he was referring to having better abs, but who doesn’t want better abs?

This month introduces the “Core Count Challenge” by implementing 100 sit-ups daily to enhance core strength and endurance while maintaining your established workout routine of 20 minutes or more. My washing machine is broken and the local laundromat just closed down.  I’m going to need me some washboard abs, STAT!

Daily Workout Plan:

• Duration: Continue your daily workouts with a minimum of 20 minutes focused on a variety of exercises encompassing strength, cardio, and flexibility.

Core Count Challenge:

• 100 Sit-Ups Daily: Aim to complete 100 sit-ups every day of the month to specifically target core strengthening.
  • Gradual Progression: If 100 sit-ups at once is too challenging initially, break them into smaller sets distributed throughout the day (e.g., 4 sets of 25 sit-ups).
  • Form Focus: Prioritize correct form to prevent injury and maximize effectiveness. Engage your core muscles, and avoid pulling on your neck with your hands.
  • Variety: To work the core from different angles and prevent boredom, mix in various sit-up styles and core exercises such as planks, bicycle crunches, and leg raises.

Incorporating Core Work into Your Routine:

• Integrate the sit-ups into your exercise routine, perhaps as part of your warm-up, between sets, or as a burnout at the end of your workout.
• Consider dedicating specific days to more intensive core-focused sessions, while maintaining other aspects of fitness on alternate days.

Tracking and Adaptation:

• Keep a log to track your daily completion of the sit-ups. Note any increases in ease, improvements in form, or changes in strength or endurance.
• If the challenge becomes too easy, consider increasing the difficulty by adding weights or trying more challenging core exercises.

Celebration Milestone:

• End of Month Recognition: Celebrate the consistency and dedication you showed throughout the Core Count Challenge.
• Reflect on the strength and endurance built over the month and how a stronger core has impacted your overall fitness and daily activities.

Upon completion of your 365 days, you have the opportunity to arrange a personalized name tag engraved on the “Diversifiers Cup” to commemorate your dedication and achievements. Let’s celebrate #DIVERSIFY365!

“The Tortoise and the Hare” – A classic fable that teaches the moral lesson of “slow and steady wins the race.” In the story, the hare, confident in his speed, races against the slow-moving tortoise. Overconfident and complacent, the hare decides to take a nap mid-race, believing he has plenty of time to win. Meanwhile, the tortoise continues to move steadily and persistently, ultimately crossing the finish line before the hare awakens. This story highlights the virtues of consistent effort and perseverance, as opposed to relying solely on natural talent or overconfidence. It suggests that dedication and steady progress can often lead to success.

As you approach the culmination of your year-long lifestyle transformation journey, the focus is on maintaining consistency and celebrating the diverse challenges you’ve embraced throughout the program. What have you learned about yourself? How have you grown as an individual? Have you surprised yourself with your accomplishments? Do people ‘see’ you differently?
